Certification Link Models
The typical method is the Permanent Link to certify the infrastructure fixed
wiring consisting of two female RJ45 sockets at each end and an optional
consolidation point connector near the work area.
The Channel method has the advantage of also certifying the two patch cords
connected to the permanent link thus measuring the entire channel from end-
to end. The downside is that if the patch cords are changed, the channel must
be re-certified.
The MPTL method makes it possible to certify a hybrid link consisting of a
conventional female socket at one side and a male connector (plug) at the
other side. MPTL’s are used to directly connect to a PoE camera, Wi-Fi access
point, access control and other devices that are installed in fixed locations. To
certify an MPTL a Permanent link adapter is attached to the main handset and
a patch cord adapter on the remote handset. The patch cord adapter must be
of the same category rating as the components of the MPTL.
